Autel Robotics · Camera drone · Shown at CES in January 2018, on sale from June 2018
Autel showed the EVO at CES in January 2018 and put it on sale that June, and it went out of stock almost at once. It was a folding drone aimed straight at DJI's Mavic Pro, with 4K at 60 fps and a 100 Mbps bitrate that DroneDJ compared to the Phantom 4 Pro's video specs, from a smaller sensor. Its party trick was the controller, which has its own 3.3-inch OLED screen showing a live 720p view, so you can fly without a phone. Autel rated it for 30 minutes and 7 km of range. Autel no longer lists it, and it has no Remote ID, so a used one is a cheap way into 4K once you add a broadcast module.

Takeoff weight: 863 g, register it
Should come with it
Check the listing photos against this list, and ask the seller about anything you can’t see. A missing piece should come off the price.
Faults on the original EVO aren't well documented. It's an old drone Autel no longer sells, so battery health and a working controller matter most, and it needs a broadcast module to fly legally under Remote ID.

Buying guide
We'd buy the $699 kit titled with the remote, four batteries, a charger and a hard case, since Autel no longer sells the EVO and battery health matters most on one this old. There are at least 19 listed and most ask $400–725 delivered, and the cheapest titled with its remote and batteries is $260 delivered, though its photo shows only the carry bag. The original EVO isn't on the FAA's Remote ID list, so it needs a broadcast module or can only fly at a FRIA, and at 863 g it must be registered however you fly it. Make sure the controller with the 3.3-inch screen is in the photos, since it can't fly without one, and ask for a video of it taking off, hovering and landing. Skip the boxed one at $1,029, about 1.7 times the median.
